I am new to the DIY Drones community and UAVs in general but have a lot of experience producing durable parts made directly from CAD data. When considering the DIY Drones site I noticed there is some great resources for electronic components but what if someone wants to design and produce a stellar airframe or other custom parts? Has anyone dabbled in CAD and considered producing their own parts in nylon without a mold???My company NWUAV (www.nwuav.com) has produced custom airframes as well as shrouds, intakes, brackets, etc for industry and I thought, why not for hobbyists too? If you can design it in CAD, we can build it! Any complexity with walls 0.020" and up (note: best to design 0.040" and up for any load bearing feature). Our parts are flying on thousands of planes. If anyone has some interest, let me know! You can send your CAD files to alex.dick@nwuav.com.
